So when an unexpected event interrupts your peaceful morning, rest assured that Joe McCann is here to help! Our team here at SERVPRO of Irwindale/Baldwin Park is professionally trained to assess the impact of water damage.

What You Can Do To Prevent A Dryer Fire

Home fires can be caused by a multitude of things, but perhaps one of the more common causes is from dryer fires. According to the U.S Fire Administration, “2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss.” One of the leading causes of dryer fires is from the failure to clean out dryer and lint traps. Often dryer fires can happen more often in fall and winter months.

Here are some do’s and don'ts in regards to dryer maintenance…

Do

Make sure to clean your lint filter often

Check to see that all electrical plugs are properly plugged in

Ensure dryers are properly installed

Keep the area around dryer clean and free of anything that can burn
